A patient with familial benign hypercalcaemia (FBH) who developed rela
psing pancreatitis is presented. She underwent distal partial pancreas
resection with surgical removal of pancreatic duct stones, and a panc
reaticojejunostomy. No further causes for the pancreatitis were found.
The present case is remarkable since it is an example of the occurren
ce of pancreatitis in a previously known patient with hypercalcaemia,
and it underlines the severity of the pancreatitis when it occurs in t
his syndrome.
